Fashion MidTerm

Alright, this is not my work! This is Tianyin Wang, a Chinese Fashion Illustrator that I've picked as my inspirational illustrator for my midterm task for fashion descom. He inspires me because his work is full of contrast: color vs. black & white, hard lines in body, soft lines in background, precision vs. coincidence. I also like how the model is playing with the color. Or is the color playing with the model?

This is the final result. I used a combination of real sketching consisting of ink, marker and pencil. I scanned the sketch and build "Vogue" in Illustrator, the brushes and background are Photoshop work. I would have liked to try the watercolor effects in reality but this way I could delete the layers over and over again.

Here is an impression of our presentation within class. The steps everybody has taken within the last two month are impressive. I think that my teacher is really good because he has passion for what he is doing. That also counts for German professors, but usually it is very hard to see that passion. Also, students seem to be more productive if they feel comfortable. Randy helps us by making a joke sometimes.
